MAGAThread XVII: All Things NOT Impeachment

[Gormwood]

He extended the GOP base to encompass a wide swathe of people that liberals had managed to thoroughly ostracize despite ubiquitous claims of inclusivity and tolerance. White supremacists, of course, were one of those groups understandably but Trump hasn't given them a lot of the policies they wanted and probably won't be able to count on their support next year. Despite that, he's still on course to win his bid for reelection. Which suggests that our failings go well beyond not be stark, raving lunatic racists. I don't even think all of that new support was limited to the bloody-minded.


Who would you recommend? Harris? She's a law-enforcement officer who has been lagging behind in the primary. She's open to accusations about nepotism as well. Buttigieg? He's already being portrayed as too conservative and not "gay enough" whatever that means. He's going to be cannibalized by his fellow partisans. Warren would probably govern as a centrist if she got the nod and, while she has some baggage, she's not nearly as bad as Biden. She's never sucked her significant other's figers on live television or kissed a toddler as she struggled to escape. Biden is holding up well in polls at the moment, but Trump's attack ads can do a lot of damage and don't even have to be dishonest to do it. And Gabbard threw the ball out of bounds with her vote on impeachment.

If somehow Harris had gotten the nomination, *I* might have voted for Trump.

Fortunately for America, we dodged that bullet. She dropped out earlier this month.

Jesus Christ the Son of God could be the Democratic candidate and people especially Evangelicals would still vote for Trump.

I’m absolutely certain you’re correct. But it doesn’t have much to do with my post.

Repetition doesn't beget truth.

Gauth, if Jesus was the opposition, YOU would vote for Trump. You're not ready for ascetic Judaism and striking bankers with whips.

Well, and as a functional matter, Jesus would never run for office. He quite literally fled when people tried to force him into office.

Hmm..... the latter might be worth the former....

If Jesus was alive today he'd totally go Castlevania on Wall Street.

It's that or sackcloth and telling people that they're going to Hell for not putting out their own eyes.

End of the Year poll suggestions are now being taken.

I've got one so far.

How will impeachment affect Trump’s re-election

Whether it’ll help him because it fired up his base, hurt him because it gave a negative connotation to his name, or stuff along those lines

Write me up the questions in a code and i put them on.

Besides the other suggestion on the table is alternate GOP candidates in 2020. Which is an unlikely thing.

ICE reopening long-closed deportation cases against Dreamers

Oh joy, more potential cases of people being deported to countries with no fluency in the native language or relatives and contacts to help them not fall the fuck apart. While some truly empathic souls unironically sing "America, FUCK YEAH!!"

If the law requires illegal immigrants to be deported, there should be as few exceptions as possible.

Seems particularly heartless, seeing as how the crime wasn't commited by them and the US is the only home they've ever known.

Actually, we forced it on them. DACA had no path to citizenship available for its users.

For as long as they remain in the country, yes.

No easy path, sure.

Since I don't know how hard it would be for a 'Dreamer' to gain citizenship, I can't really speak to if they were 'evading' it or just entirely unable to tackle the task of doing so.

Nonetheless, I'm still of the opinion that deporting otherwise law-abiding people who have spent their entire lives in a country and know nothing else seems particularly harsh. The added cost of opening the case, the process of detaining and deporting them, and all, makes it seem like the easier action would be to just let them stay unless they start doing stupid shit like committing crimes.

It’s easier rounding up the people who want to fit in versus looking for criminals. That way you can say you are protecting them.

Many came into the country as children brought by their parents. But I'm sure the usual suspects would want minors deported with no guarantees they'd understand the language or have help adjusting.
